Atonement is not so much a course of action, as an end, the goal God is seeking to achieve. God’s ways are often said to be a mystery beyond human comprehension. I. H. Marshall (2008, p. 63) thought, “It is true that the concept of God the Son suffering and dying is paradoxical and incomprehensible.” Although God’s nature extends beyond our understanding, his actions in creation are open to investigation. If we insist God’s work for atonement is a mystery, the search for truth is stymied.

Achieving Atonement by Derek Thompson presents an atonement model that is biblical, ethical, reasonable, comprehensive, ecumenical, and avoids the problems of traditional atonement theories while retaining their truths. The author explains how God is achieving atonement and the place of Christ’s violent death on the cross. The second edition benefits from reader feedback on the first edition, some additional material and clarification.
